A female agent travels through time and fights against the fierce enemy with weapons
Chapter 68: Palace Banquet Competition (1)
When Murong Chen came in, Murong Peng, who was in a high position, would look at him from time to time.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that his seventh brother's eyes seemed to be often fixed on Madam Liu, who was sitting diagonally opposite him.
Of course, that was also short-lived and fleeting.
Yao Fengjiao looked around and asked Chen Wanruo casually:
"I heard some time ago that Madam Liu was an amazing doctor and she saved your mother-in-law from the brink of death. Is that true?"
She was sitting high up and had an excellent sense of hearing, so Murong Peng might not have noticed Murong Chen's gaze.
But she, who was in a high position, could see it clearly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Wanruo was stunned.
It seems that this Yao Fengjiao is much more powerful than he imagined.
Everyone in the capital city knew that she was nothing but a loser, yet she still knew such a thing.
Of course, Chen Wanruo would not be so narcissistic as to feel that Yao Fengjiao was always staring at her.
If nothing unexpected happened, she should have known that I went to treat Murong Chen's leg disease.
Sure enough, it was another witch.
Thinking of this, Chen Wanruo immediately stood up and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, my medical skills are not worth mentioning. Besides, my mother-in-law was unconscious at the time, and I just wanted to give it a try. I didn't expect that I would get lucky. Your Majesty, you know that I am just a fool. How can I talk about medical skills?"
Since she didn't say it openly, Chen Wanruo naturally wouldn't say it openly either.
However, she probably also knew that Yao Fengjiao would not acknowledge her medical skills at this critical juncture.
If I admitted it, wouldn't everyone criticize me if she didn't let me treat Murong Chen's leg disease?
You have to know that Murong Chen's leg disease was caused by her on purpose, so how could she let him recover easily?
Sure enough, after hearing what Chen Wanruo said, Yao Fengjiao narrowed her eyes, obviously trying to test the truthfulness of her words.
Seeing that Chen Wanruo had almost finished her reply, Murong Peng looked at everyone and said:
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we should enjoy lanterns and guess lantern riddles. I have also put out many lantern riddles today, and you can guess them to liven up the atmosphere. Of course, I must point out that this is not the main competition, the main competition is still to come. Poetry, calligraphy and painting are definitely indispensable. This year, I have also prepared archery. You can also participate, just like in previous years. The winner will not only get 100 taels of gold, but can also make a request to me."
Hearing this, Chen Wanruo's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is her main purpose today, to divorce her husband, to divorce her husband, she must divorce her husband!
Not only Chen Wanruo was excited, many people present were excited.
Especially those military generals, when they heard the emperor say there would be an archery competition, they were already ready to take action.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the emperor nodded to Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li understood and walked out to the center of the hall, shouting in a rooster-like voice: "I will first tell you the rules of the competition! After I read the riddle, you ministers, ladies, and gentlemen can write the riddle on the rice paper in front of you. After I count a certain number, you can reveal the answer. Those who answer correctly can move on to the next question. Those who answer incorrectly will be eliminated. Of course, this elimination only applies to this round. Poetry, calligraphy, painting, and archery can still be competed."
"The Emperor just said that the top three will receive rewards, especially the first place winner. In addition to 100 taels of gold and a request to the Emperor, he will also receive a pair of jade ruyi. The second place winner will receive a warm jade bracelet, and the third place winner will receive a painting of early spring by Saint Zhang!"
Upon hearing this, people in the hall immediately started talking.
You know, these prizes are extremely valuable treasures.
Chen Wanruo hated that she couldn't split herself, otherwise, all these rewards would have been in her pocket.
When I think about it, I feel it’s a pity.
After Eunuch Li finished speaking, he tore down the small banner that the palace maid had hung under the lantern on the far left.
Suddenly, a line of words appeared in front of everyone.
"Red, yellow, blue and white can transform into phoenixes and dragons. They travel thousands of miles without stopping and can be blown away by a breeze. Name a natural phenomenon!"
As soon as the question was read out, Eunuch Li started counting numbers.
"one two three......"
Seeing this puzzle, Chen Wanruo immediately raised her eyebrows, and without any pause, she picked up the pen in front of her and wrote the word "cloud" on the rice paper.
At this time, Luo Pinting, who was sitting next to Chen Wanruo, was also very confident and wrote a word directly on the rice paper.
Just as he put down the brush, he saw Chen Wanruo beside him picking up the scroll in front of her and saying to Eunuch Li: "Eunuch Li, it's 'Yun'!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked.
But I didn’t expect that the first person to answer would be Chen Wanruo.
Didn't they say she was useless? Why did she answer so quickly?
Not only them, but Liu Shiquan standing next to them also thought so.
He even thought that Chen Wanruo would be eliminated in the first round.
After all, it has been like this in previous years. Her temperament has changed this year, but the knowledge in her head can't have suddenly increased dramatically!
In fact, this question is very simple. Not only Chen Wanruo answered it correctly, but many other people also answered it correctly.
On second thought, if she thought about it for a moment, she might actually be able to get the answer right.
Thinking of this, Liu Shiquan didn't spend too much time on this issue.
"Now we come to the next question. Please listen to the question!" Eunuch Li's voice sounded again in the Tihe Hall.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Eunuch Li continued to read:
"Wearing a big fur coat, eating wild grass to its heart's content, and surviving the harsh winter, it gives away its fur. Name an animal!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Wanruo picked up the pen and wrote the word "sheep" again on the rice paper in front of her.
It can be said that for her who traveled through time from the end of the world, these questions would be similar to those of a child from three previous lives.
"one two three......"
When he counted to twenty, Eunuch Li said, "You can now reveal your answers to the riddle!"
This question was a little difficult, so Eunuch Li counted five more times.
But even so, there were still several people who were eliminated.
When Luo Pinting was feeling proud, she saw the same answer written on the rice paper in the hand of Chen Wanruo beside her.
Seeing this, Luo Pinting immediately thought that Chen Wanruo had plagiarized.
Otherwise, with her skills, it would be impossible for her to guess the answer.
Thinking of this, Luo Pinting spoke to Chen Wanruo in what she thought was a very low voice:
"Big sister, you can't copy the answers like this. It would be unfair to everyone present."
